Dear Sir\/Madam<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While working at a certain local secondary school several years ago, a father beat his daughter in public (on the street), lifting her skirt and pulling down her panty and beating her on her bare buttocks deliberately in full view of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another father would sometimes come to the school and yell at his son, beating him up, and at one time even knocking him to the ground.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Teachers laughed when these children were being brutalised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be illegal for parents to beat their children in public.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is assault. Only evil people support this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government, make public spanking illegal.<\/p>

If you want to use physical discipline, do so at home. Your child is a human being. And you, the abusive parent, are a terrorist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We talk about mental health, and this is suicide prevention month. But how can you talk about suicide and mental health when people are mistreated, and publicly at that, and people see it as entertainment. MISTREATMENT IS OFTEN THE CAUSE OF SUICIDE AND POOR MENTAL HEALTH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you brutalise your child, and when you find brutality against children funny, you have blood on your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Government, act now. It is your moral duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disgusted by the acceptance of child abuse in this country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
